Aurora Labs Limited announced successful completion of the third milestone in its technology development pathway. The A3D technical team have achieved the phase 2 print parameter testing milestone, the next development jump in the company’s “ Lily Pad” approach. Measuring the capability of the RMP-1 Beta prototype printing in 316L stainless steel at high power. The team have achieved reliable printing at 1.5KW laser power, while maintaining part integrity against industry quality standards. A3D has now completed three of its four technology development milestones, with phase one print parameter testing and the fume extraction upgrade paving the way for the latest progress with high power printing. Phase two print parameter testing success is defined by 3 targets: successful printing at high power (15kW) input, qualification at high power and a resulting production rate increase.
